Chapter 18: Sleeping together!? Hand cuffs!
Ryoga, that night, couldn't have his eyes closed. He was looking up the ceiling and heard Sanma's soft snores on the other side of the bed. He turned to her and looked at her. 'She is cute,' he thought and smiled. He didn't realize that he was approaching her more closer. He stopped when his face nearly met hers. He flinched and blushed. It reminded him of last time. He gazed at her lips and had this passion to feel her soft lips again.
He stopped when she opened her eyes. "Ryoga?" Her eyes widened when she saw he was just above him. They had an intense blush. "Uh?" He flinched and pulled backwards, "I am sorry… I didn't mean to…" "Uh… okay," She replied and rolled herself. She stopped when she heard him got of from the bed, "Can't you sleep?" He tsked, "How can I sleep with girl?" He jumped to the sofa. She looked disappointed, "Hrm... good night." He replied back.
The next morning, the sun rose and shined Sanma. She opened her eyes and stretched herself. When she saw Ryoga on the sofa, who was drooling, she smiled. She stood up and walked to him. She leaned down at him and gave him an intense kiss on the cheek, "Thank you, Ryoga." They were crystal lights surrounding them.
"Home at last," Akane reached her house sighing, with Ranma from behind. Kasumi greeted them from the kitchen, "Welcome back. You're just in time for breakfast." They thanked her and walked into the dining room seeing Soun playing chess with Genma, in panda form. 'Where's Sanma?' He produced a wooden sign to his son.
"Aren't she supposed to be back this morning?" Ranma pointed with the chopstick in his mouth. "Hehe!" They heard Akane's evil tease laugh, surrounded with an evil aura, "She must have been eaten by those Mad dogs." She added with another high pitch laughs. "She is not feminine enough to be eaten," He retorted back irritated eating so fast and felt a dark aura behind him, "Don't tell me…" He looked at Akane, who nodded with irritated eyes.
A red headed girl; behind him, had a black bold vein popping out from her back head, "So what if I am not feminine?" Ranma crashed down with an extreme sweat drop and turned, "Uh? Sanma-chan, you're back at last. We were worried sick about you." He sweats dropped.
"Ryoga-kun?" Akane spotted him behind Sanma. He didn't blushed, yet he greeted her. Sanma sat down angrily with cross arms and groaned, "Kasumi nee-chan, what's for breakfast?" "I hate to ask, Sanma-chan," Kasumi said with a baffled look, "Why are you wearing Ryoga-kun's clothes?" Ryoga and Sanma snapped looking up at her and blushed, "Uh? It's a long story!"
"Look at this! Look at this!" Soun beamed up as he spotted something unusual in the newspaper. "What? What?" Everyone retorted back. Soun showed and pointed an image on the newspaper; "This is Ryoga and Sanma!" Their eyes widened immensely and saw an image of Ryoga in the air with a half-towel naked Sanma. Their eyes were blocked though.
"How did they got that picture?" Sanma paled and tried to get the newspaper but Ranma quickly took it. "Whua! This is very interesting. A cute boy brought a pretty young girl, who was only in towel, to a first-class hotel. Some citizen saw they are into drugs, some said running away from family. Some said that they were doing love. The police investigated their place this morning and heard that they were in a same room," Ranma read the newspaper and everyone looked at them who was blushing red.
"This is a miss-understanding," Sanma denied with sweat drops, "It must be a joke." "Ryoga is with you is a proof," Akane pointed and they were speechless. They looked down sulked, "Sorry!" "My daughter…?" Genma had his eyes filled with tears fisting after Soun poured hot water to him, "Had slept with a man?" "Wait-" They tried to retort and corrected them but Tofu opened the door quickly that everyone turned.
"Actually Sanma had the advantage," He pointed up and turned to Kasumi. He waved and walked over her handing her a dozen of pretty flowers, "Here you go, my pretty angel." They sweat dropped with irritated eyes as Kasumi thanked. He coughed, "Now, where were we? Ah, They did made the sexual transmission!" They had their jaws widely dropped down. "It was because of a medicine!" Sanma was blushing red choking Tofu in chibi.
"What advantage, Tofu sensei, can I ask?" Ranma pointed with an eyebrow shot up. Akane nodded from behind. "Well," He said, "It somehow cured her from her disease that she has now!" Ryoga blushed looking up at him, "It cured her?"
Sanma snapped, "That's not it!" "But it is not fully cured yet," Tofu corrected and pointed up, "You know what I mean." He was in chibi laughing and they had dotted eyes. They started to think and think and stopped. Their eyes changed into evil, "Oh!" They look evilly at them. "I have a bad feeling about this," Ryoga heard Sanma said from his right, paled.
They snapped as Ranma put on handcuffs on their arms. "What's this?" Sanma asked curiously and looked at his brother. "That's as handcuff," Ranma pointed up. "We know it is a handcuff," She had irritated eyes, "And I don't see you have on put it on us!"
"Since Ryoga has no sense direction, you need to be his guide," Akane pointed up and they shrieked surprised. "But wait a second," She rushed into her words slamming the table, "How can I go to the toilet to do the personal stuffs?" She was in chibi whining. "Oh, don't worry about that," Tofu said back flapping his hand, "Beside you 'did' had slept together." They blushed speechless and suddenly paled.
"Onii-chan…" She pleaded to Ranma and he put the key into Genma's mouth, where he gulped it into his stomach. "Hrm… delicious." Sanma had his eyes filled with tears, "YAAAAAAAAAA!" The whole neighborhood heard her.
"Damn that father and brother," She cursed angrily stomping like a giant with Ryoga beside her. Her eyes filled with tears. "Wait up, Sanma!" Ranma rushed from behind with Akane. "I don't want to talk with you again," She turned sticking her tongue to him, "I hate you!" She jumped away heading to the school.
She turned to Ryoga, "Do you study?" He had dotted eyes, "Well, I stopped when I was in the middle high school." She sighed, "This is the most horrible life I have ever had." Some girls squeaked when they saw them with handcuffs.
"Ryoga?" Ukyo pointed and Ryoga scolded her, "I never imagine that you'll end up with Sanma instead." She laughed angrily. "If Akane, I don't mind. She is quite a feminine not like Sanma," She was laughing. "I agree," The other girls said and some boys laughed too. "Sanma doesn't act like a woman, how can Ryoga have her? She doesn't cook, she doesn't wear skirts, she doesn't do girls thing." "She is after all, unfeminine."
"People…" Ranma and Akane saw Sanma's look were different and tried to stop the other student insults. "Sanma, you may like Ryoga but he won't like a girl like you," Another said.
Sanma had her eyes closed looking down and nodded, "Ah! I am unfeminine, so what?" "Sanma?" Ryoga turned to her. She smiled, "Hey, we're late for class." She ran away.
"What are you doing there?" Ryoga said leaning and Sanma was on the ground, hugging her legs, sobbing. "Don't you peek!" She said angrily and buried her legs into her arms; "I shouldn't have come here to find my brother. It made my life more worse." "That's nothing," He added. "To you, it's nothing. But it meant so much to me. I am unfeminine and no one likes me. They only like me from the outside," She started sobbing, "But actually I wasn't like this. Before Yamato died, I wasn't like this." She cried more and felt Ryoga holding her, "Ryoga?" He hold her tighter, "Unfeminine or not, I know you in the inside that you are more than just a feminine girl but a soft, gentle Sanma." She blushed and smiled hugging him back, "Thank you, Ryoga. Thank you."
"Uh! What's this?" Genma was uh, pooing. He showed up the key with his poo around it, to Soun. "What what what?" He said back annoyed. "Isn't that the key to Sanma and Ryoga's hand cuff?" Nabiki said pinching her nose. "It is, it is," Soun replied and felt a dark aura, "That smell disgusting."
"I done cleaning it," Genma said hurrying, "Where's my daughter?" "Ara?" Kasumi thought, "Sanma-kun would be glad." "Glad to be married or glad to be free?" Nabiki pointed out eating a cookie. "Nabiki..."
"Are you mad, Sanma?" Akane asked innocently in school. "Mad? Mad of what?" She turned and Ryoga was sitting beside her was asleep. "That your brother handcuffed you," She added and sat down in front of her. "Well, I am, a little" She admitted looking down, "But I think I am getting used it." She looked up and smiled.
Ranma jumped onto Ryoga's head from behind, "Darn you Ryoga, you dare to sleep comfortably in my class room." Ryoga woke up with veins popping out; "I am not the one who put on the handcuffs." He had irritated eyes. "Ryoga-kun's right, Ranma," Akane agreed, "They have been together since this morning and they never did separated."
"How can we?" Sanma had irritated eyes and smiled happily, "But good thing I don't have to change." They had irritated eyes. She sparked, "I got the time to check the new upcoming dolls!" They crashed down.
"Sanma, you know well why I handcuffed you two," They turned. Ranma looked serious; "Ryoga doesn't have any sense of direction." Ryoga was on his head, "I didn't ask for your opinion." "You may start to miss him like crazy when he's lost," Akane pointed out and they started out a red blush.
Suddenly they heard sound of thud heading towards their classroom and turned to the door. There was black figure puffing like crazy. He was with flame. "How dare you were handcuffed with my pigtailed onna!" He put out a wooden stick pointing it at Ryoga.
"I am not your pigtailed onna!" Sanma screamed and they shared the same sweat drop. "I didn't plan all this okay?" Ryoga kicked him; "It was Ranma's idea!" Kuno turned to Ranma with a death glare, "You dare handcuffed them!" "Not my fault, they were meant for each other," Ranma put his arms behind his head walking away. The tables and chairs in the classroom were thrown at him.
"Baka," Akane had irritated eyes looking at him. Sanma took a pen and some sharp things to open the handcuff. "Let me help, my pigtailed onna," He hit the handcuff with his wooden stick and it broke into half. He shrieked. "Idiot!" Ryoga said out loud, "Wooden sticks wouldn't do anything to a steel." "I didn't know you know," Sanma said irritated looking at him.
"I challenge you a duel!" Kuno pointed at Ryoga, "This afternoon, who wins will be handcuffed to my pigtailed onna." Everyone crashed down. "What do you think I am?" Ryoga screamed angrily, "Someone who is fond to a unfeminine one?" Sanma steamed up and whacked him, "Who you calling 'unfeminine'!"
"Sometime I see Sanma is your more evil twin than mine," Ranma whispered to Akane. "Aah... right..." She replied with irritated eyes.
"You are afraid to lose, am I right, Hibiki Ryoga?" Kuno crossed his arms and Ryoga looked serious. "Fine, I accept you challenge!" He screamed back and Sanma had squint eyes. "Excuse me?" "I'll see you later, Ryoga..." The two boys stared at each other with a death glare, confident.
Sanma's face was crooked and hit him with big wooden hammer, "Excuse me, hate to interrupt." She smiled innocently and started to scream, "But you are handcuffed to me and how can you fight with Kuno sempai???" Everyone agreed. A huge sweat drop formed behind his head and he giggled; "I didn't thought of that before!" Everyone crashed down again.
The wind was fine that afternoon and everyone was at the open space impatient to see Ryoga's and Kuno's duel. Ryoga and Sanma was in the middle of the open space. Ryoga looked confident while Sanma was irritated. "Ryoga, you drag me into this!" Sanma yelled at him angrily. "I can't refuse like a loser, can I?" He looked at her, "Just sit back and watch." She had irritated eyes and whacked him again and again, "I would love to watch but I can't sit back!" She puffed in chibi annoyed and raised up her left arm that was handcuffed. He looked at it and had vertical lines. He shrieked.
"Darn you Hibiki Ryoga, you dare you pull my pigtailed onna in our duel?" Kuno pointed angrily with a new wooden stick. "Like I want to," He said back irritated, "It can't be helped." He looked serious, "Looks like I have to battle without having you hurt!" Sanma looked surprised and looked up at him, somehow she felt secure. He jumped to the air and she started to shriek.
A panda was heading towards Ranma and everyone looked at him stupidly, "Pa! Pa! Pa!" "Oji-sama?" Akane turned curiously. "What do you want now, oyaji?" Ranma had irritated eyes. "Pa! Pa! Pa!" He produced out a wooden sign, 'Good news'. "What good news?" Akane looked curious and Ranma poured cold water to his paper. "Then you don't start talking!" He was annoyed.
"I got the key!" He showed the key happily. "Really?" Akane retorted relieved and turned to Ranma, "Ranma, you can unlock the handcuff now!" Ranma sighed, "Fine..." "You liked them like that, do you?" Akane pointed out.
"Ryoga!" Sanma screamed in the air as he was fighting, "Tofu sensei did warned me not to work so much!" He stepped back and she puffed after running. "Yes, I remembered." He started to iched his hair, "What am I supposed to do?" She crashed down. She stood up back fisting, "You idiot!" Kuno was heading towards her from behind to attack Ryoga and obviously hug her. "Behind you!" He warned and she turned seeing him heading towards them. Ryoga held on her waist and jumped up the air that everyone looked excited.
"Ranma, why are posting there for?" She turned. "Okay!" He jumped to the open space, "Sanma, Ryoga, here's the key to the handcuff!"
"Really?" They responded fast. "Don't you run away from me, you coward," Kuno pointed out angrily. "Not interested in you now, Kuno sempai!" Sanma screamed and Ryoga kicked him on his face. "That was fast!" Everyone pointed out.
"Thank you thank you so much, nii-chan," Sanma was jumping up and down relieved, "Now open the handcuff!" Ranma tried to unlock the handcuff but suddenly he sweat dropped. "What's the matter, Ranma?" Ryoga asked back. "This is not the key!" Ranma retorted back angrily and everyone shared the same sweat drop. He threw the key to his father, "Darn you Oyaji!"
"But that was the key that gone out from my body!" He corrected and everyone saw Sanma sulking in the open space disappointed. She started in flame. Ryoga shrieked, "This is not the time to put on fire, Sanma." Out of the blue, the handcuff broke into two. "What the-?" Everyone pondered.
"That's strange," Ryoga pointed out. "Too strange," Akane agreed. "Oops, I forgot to tell you that the handcuff only last for 10 hours," Ranma pointed out innocently and everyone crashed down. "But..." He turned too serious and they looked up at him. He held his sister's hands, "Sanma, promise me that you won't let Ryoga from your side." "What do you mean?" She asked back. "Ryoga is the only cure for you and if you lose him, it will be nothing," He retorted and looked at him with irritated, "Even though I dislike him to end with you." Sanma smiled and nodded, "Hai, I promise you that. Don't worry, I won't leave this world just like that."
"Then," Their father crossed his arms, "Would you mind marrying him as soon as possible?" Ranma poured cold water to him, "Shut up, Oyaji. They are too young to get married." Ryoga and Snama were red. Akane giggled.
That evening at the Tendos', they were having their dinner. "So from today onwards, Ryoga will be staying here," Tendo pointed out and nodded, "I like that decision." "Meaning," Kasumi smiled, "Everyone has to show everything to Ryoga-kun, right?" "Nearly correct," Akane agreed, "But the one responsible is Sanma herself." "Eh?" She turned and whined, "Why me?"
"It's obvious when he is your future husband," Nabiki pointed out, "You'll be our sister-in-law." There were blushes on Ranma and Akane's face. They started to quarrel. "Aw... common, guys, don't you have any feelings towards each other?" Sanma asked them and they looked crooked. "No!" Everyone giggled as Tendo and Saotome sighed.
